If the gap is small then you may get 'arcing'. This is where the electricity will jump from one point to another (cable end to cable end). This could cause a fire. If the gap is too large for the electricity to jump then in effect there will be no-circuit.

What would happen if there is no an electric switch in a curcuit?
Generally we use electric switches to put on or off the light,fan,computer,music system,etc.An electric switch is a device that is used to open or close an electric circuit.when we open an electric circuit the flow of electric current inthe circuit stops and when we close an electric circuit an electric current flows through it.
What causes a electric current in a electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
What happens to an electric current when a circuit is closed?
If the circuit is closed the electric current will be closed as well.
Is an electric circuit an electric charge in motion?
yes
What does the work in an electric circuit?
The load that is connected in a circuit is what does the work in the circuit.
How does a switch control an electric device?
A switch basically represents a gap in the electric circuit. Electric current can pass through a circuit only if it is complete. An incomplete circuit can never pass a current through it. When the switch is in the 'off' position, the circuit has a break (gap) in it. When you put the switch in 'on' position, the circuit wire join and the circuit gets completed.

If a circuit had a gap in it would it work?
Nope... if the circuit has a gap in it - the path of electrons is interrupted, and that would stop the circuit from working.
How do you cut an electric socket safely?
If you are not talking literally about cutting a socket and are referring about the sockets circuit, then all that needs to happen is, a switch needs to be cut into the circuit.
What will happen if a paper clip made of metal is placed in an electric circuit?
Metal is an excellent conductor of electricity. So a metal paper clip placed in an electric circuit will conduct whatever current may be in that circuit. If the current is very large, the paperclip may get hot.
The pathway taken by an electric current is a?
The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)
What causes a electric current in a electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
What is the history of the electric circuit?
the history of the electric circuit is that the person who made it his name is jack kilby but the history is that the electric circuit was one of the easiest way was to make the electric circuit when the electricity went out. THE END
How can you make the electric circuit?
Anything with a voltage power source, connecting wire and a load is an electric circuit. Hence if you have a flashlight you have an electric circuit.
Closed path where electric current can flow is called a?
I guess Electric Circuit....
Impedience of electric circuit?
The impedance of an electric circuit is the measure of the opposition presented by a circuit when the current and voltage is applied.
What happens when a circuit has a gap in it?
When a circuit has a gap in it, everythig stops working because the electricity wont be able to flow around the whole circuit
